Just realized I can just use "..." to go back two directories! Is this a zsh feature? (lemmy.ca)

I accidentally discovered that both "cd ..." and "..." work, and moreover, I can add more dots to go back further! I'm using zsh on iTerm2 on macOS. I'm pretty sure this isn't a cd feature. Is this specific to zsh or iTerm2? Are there other cool features I just never knew existed??

I'm so excited about an extra dot right now.

Eshell, the Emacs shell, supports this feature out of the box, regardless of the OS it runs on.
